I still have problems with probing ep's on one Cyrix system.

One thing that has made it better is passing a bit delay down to
elink_idseq, that is:

I haven't bothered committing this since it still fails 1 out of 6 times.
Without this it fails 1 out of 3 times.  If it logically makes sense
that a delay is needed here (I don't have any docs) someone might add it.
